Yes, doorbells are only setup when we use SMT>1 and interrupt controller
is XICS. So without this patch, L2 KOP guest with XICS IC mode and SMT>1 
does not boot. SMT 1 is fine in all cases.

Yes launching SMT L2 on V1 API fails with a kernel Oops, I'll see if I

Well we already have a "KVMPPC_GSE_DW_REGS_END" defined, just missed to
use that.
